Donna Martin: Listen
Goodness Everywhere
(Donna Martin)
it wasn't till the fire came
and took this whole place down
we found ourselves living in the heart of this town
in a sudden twist of fate everybody knew my name
and from every direction everyone came
a song for everybody who loved me like rain
who opened up wide and poured down on my name
and gave me a shelter and a place to begin
with one oar in the water one wing to the wind
love overwhelms till we come undone
then wake up and find out we are the ones
worthy of every atom of care
there is goodness everywhere
when the cold settles in and the spark will not light
out on the edge of a thousand dark nights
someone will call in the warmest of tones
like a choir that's calling a little lamb home
it's a love that is painful and powerfully bold
and for the unworthy a demon to hold
for it lights every virtue you've earned since your birth
and if I could start over I'd be better rehearsed
chorus
